Like A River Lyrics

It′s high on the mountain
The warm winds are blowing
Where the winds have blown to
There ain't no way of knowing
The mountain grass is short
It′s dry and close to burning
Crying out for water
As the season's turning

Sweet smell of the pine
Tall western cedar
Drifting on the wind
Through the mountains like a river

I've been too long away
From this wild open sky
On the concrete trails that wind
Through the canyons dark and wide
With the sounds of people talking
In words of blue and gray
Smells of doors and windows
Closed against the day

Sweet smell of the pine
Tall western cedar
Drifting on the wind
Through the mountains like a river

Now the dust lies thick and heavy
Where my feet are falling
There′s nothing but the sound
Of the jaybirds calling
My mind grows dry and thirsty
As the memory lingers
Drifting on the wind
Through the mountains like a river

Sweet smell of the pine
Tall western cedar
Drifting on the wind
Through the mountains like a river
Sweet smell of the pine
Tall western cedar
Drifting on the wind
Through the mountains like a river
Sweet smell of the pine
Tall western cedar
Drifting on the wind
Through the mountains like a river
